Tower Power

The world today is not only experiencing food crisis but as well as energy crisis. And Australia ’s simple answer for this problem is green electricity. How? Building a 20,000 acre greenhouse to trap and heat air. Then build a colossal tower 1 km tall in the middle. The warm air from the greenhouse will rise through the tower as it would through a chimney, turning turbines and generating enough electricity to power 20,000 Australian homes. If completed, the $800 million solar tower will be the tallest man-made structure in the world.
